Eh...newish style I suppose. Or at least trying to move away from my old one? I dunno. Anyway, CnC, no ratings. Yaaay Spice & Wolf obsession. Admittedly these were both done at like 1-2 am, so I...don't know if I was exactly thinking straight.
The borders are too think and kinda kill it. Stocks are good, but try placing a biiiit towards the center more. The text is fine, but maybe take out that little bit behind it, looks funny to me. Also, needs a bit of color IMO.
...Not really that thick at all. :\ Except that would kill the Rule of Thirds. Plus I couldn't move it since that's the edge of the image. And to be honest I'm not really sure which one you're talking about. But most of my stuff is more simple-geared, I'm not a huge fan of bright flashy colours.
I think she meant to write 'thin' and accidentally put a k in. It can seem to go either way though, lol. And right now both of the stocks are a bit too far off to the side, so you're actually kind of defying the rule of thirds. It works all right with the one with the girl, because of the hair, but in the other it's a problem. First tag: A bit too simple, tbh. The stock takes up a lot of space and the rest is just kind of bleeh. I like the text a lot, though. The little spark-esque things going around the hair are alright, they're really the only foreground effects/blending you have. There was some nice potential for flow here with that stock, if you ever decide to add more to this you should exploit that. Second tag: Get rid of that blue border right now. I like the unity of the two tags, but this one shares the same flaw of the first -- not enough effects (though this one has the blending, so it's a bit better). Overall, they're nice to look at, but there's a way to do simple without doing boring.
